Default Cursor cell selection "won't release"

It seems that a complete reboot has solved the situation. I've printed this
quick discussion though to try the F8 approach next time it happens. Thank
you both.

It is not entirely clear to me what you mean with "cursor stuck", but try

This is happening within an open spreadsheet. Somehow I have accidentally
hit something or some combination of keys that makes the cursor "stuck" in
selection mode. I've tried escape, enter, and a variety of combinations
like
control scroll and it just won't stop. I have had this happen before
though
can't remember how we got it to stop. I will print out the answer if
someone
is able to tell me the trick and it works. It is a very frustrating
situation because even if you contol-alt-delete and end the program, when
you
restart Excel and open the spreadsheet, it is in the same status.

I appreciate all help. Thank you.
